Water baptism (immersion) plays absolutely no part in the salvation of an individual especially out of that region Christ came to. It was for those people in preparing them for the coming Christ.
It really is bad doctrine.
Simple belief of the gospel presented and baptism of the Spirit of God and you are sealed forever.
The Holy Spirit will guide you, teach you, and will lead you to understand God's Word.
Baptism means immersion but always has to be followed by a noun as to immersed in what?
Matthew 3. (John the Baptist)
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Acts 1:5. (Our Lord)
King James Version
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
1 Peter 3:21
"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
Peter said not water but faith in Christ.
Romans 10: 9-10. This is the most accurate description of the process to baptism of the Spirit of God.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This is awesome news!
Congratulations, gentlemen.
